Embarrassed Single Dad’s Story
From a single dad in the Yahoo Single-Parents- group, about a day in church with his daughter:
When she was five, I dressed her up in her Sunday best and headed off to Mass. This is the really long Mass a week before Easter. Of course she wouldn’t sit still through the long Mass and I kept having to whisper and sign to her to be still.
Eventually she had enough and when I whispered her to be quiet, she yelled “NO!� at the top of her voice. Unfortunately this also coincided with the priest asking “Do you renounce the devil and all his works?�
Everyone turned to see the devil child and the priest stared down from the pulpit and yelled back “YES!�
I had to pick up my devil child and take the walk of shame down the aisle and out of the church. It took me a couple of weeks to pluck up the courage to return to that church.
Being a single dad is interesting at times.
